[edit] Misc

Tracks 7-10 taken from The Tear Garden EP.

The track 'The Centre Bullet' was the first Tear Garden song written, originally appearing as a Skinny Puppy track with a few vocals by cEvin himself on an early Skinny Puppy Album entitled Bites. The song was later re-released, with vocals by Edward Ka-Spel, on The Tear Garden's self-titled EP, in its entirety, and on the CD edition of Tired Eyes Slowly Burning.

Etched into the A side of the vinyl edition was the phrase "AND EVEN THE VEGETABLES SCREAMED!", which is both the title of a song by The Legendary Pink Dots and a lyric used in their song Hotel Noir.

The album's title 'Tired Eyes Slowly Burning' was also used as a lyric in the Edward Ka-Spel solo song Hotel X (on his 1991 album Tanith and The Lion Tree).
